    Freightliner looks fabulous….!!!!,. so glad you have not done a silly looking ,stretched wheelbase conversion on Jolly Green, and also not put an oversized front bumper on her as well………she looks perfect as she is….fantastic …!!!..⭐️👍🇺🇸🇬🇧

My wife use to sit on the doghouse next to me a lot ( your doghouse is smaller then mine was ) Old dirty 30 ( her name ) and me ran over 1 million miles ( 2 rebuilds ) and never let me down !!!!! I’m retired now and might buy one just to pull my 5th wheel around ! Like I said Great Memories !

And they both run like that until they warm up 26 years in this game and my grandfather taught me everything I kn.but you are doing a awesome job with yours keep them coming

    The Cummins will actually idle high if there is air in the fuel system. From sitting and the fact that the filter housing was partially empty leads me to believe it’s sucking some air. If you had been able to get it out and make the motor work and actually give it some throttle I’m betting the idle would smooth out and come down. Every time I take the pump apart on my dads 350 Cummins it’s a little bit of a process to bleed the air out and get the idle down and smooth.

    • @leonardosena6338

    When hooking up two batteries always hook your leads (+ - ) + to one battery, - to the other battery! You hooked the jumpers up right, but the - should have been hooked to the - terminal on the far battery! That way you are combining the two batteries together and drawing off them and charging them evenly! The way you hooked them, you were drawing off one battery, and the other battery was just jumping it!

    We called those transmissions " Glorified 9 speeds ".
    I sure miss those old cabovers, especially the Freightliners and Internationals. I never drove the cabover Peterbilts or Kenworths, but I suspect that even with them, after a few hundred thousand miles, a guy could use an ass and lower back transplant, even with air ride suspension and cab.
    They had their good points though- you could turn them onto some tight and narrow streets even with 53' trailers, or maneuver around and back up in tight docks at shippers or receivers.
